Small business fascinates, particularly as it connects to the community in which it functions. I have spent years in activism, working in corporate environments and as an entrepreneur. This is an outreach of my consulting business to share daily lessons, insights and comments about life in small business.

Sometimes, a long break is needed in life before you pick things up again. So it was with this blog. In the last several years, I have become a partner in another business, seen my business continue to grow, become a regular writer for a variety of news papers (all local and small, but maybe moving to the idea of a syndicated column), deepened my commitment and relationship with my husband and generally lived what lots of people call "a dream." As far as I am concerned, I have been in a peak of my life. While I know their are peaks and valleys throughout our life, I am definitely enjoying the peak. What has been new with you?
